On the Wall of Jerusalem's Old City<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The Bible tells us that herbs were placed on earth for the healing of man.\u00a0 In Genesis, God proclaims that the fruit of the tree is to be used for food, and the leaf thereof for medicine.<\/p>\n

In the Quran, God, or Allah, says that there is no disease created by Him for which He did not also create the cure.\u00a0 The prophet Mohammad, PBUH, extolls the healing virtues of several different medicinal herbs in his writings.<\/p>\n

The power of herbs, and of Nature, to heal all ills figures prominently in all of the world’s major religions.\u00a0 The message of all this is clear:\u00a0 Herbal medicine and other natural healing modalities are God’s preferred form of healing.<\/p>\n

Healing Herbs of the Bible<\/strong><\/p>\n

Many different healing herbs are mentioned in the Bible.\u00a0 However, since the common vernacular names for these herbs can be vague, dubious or misleading, and can change over time, careful research is needed to ascertain their true identity.<\/p>\n

For instance,\u00a0Aloes, <\/strong>both\u00a0fragrant <\/strong>and\u00a0bitter, <\/strong>are mentioned in various places in the Bible.\u00a0\u00a0Fragrant Aloes <\/strong>refers not to Aloe Vera, or the True Aloe, but rather to\u00a0Aloes Wood, <\/strong>a resinous wood from Southeast Asia which is used both medicinally and in aromatics, whose botanical name is\u00a0Aquillaria agallocha.<\/em><\/p>\n

The\u00a0True Aloe, <\/strong>or\u00a0Aloe Vera, <\/strong>is the\u00a0Bitter Aloe, <\/strong>as anyone who has ever eaten its fresh leaf can testify to.\u00a0 The Bible tells us that when Jesus was placed in the tomb, his whole body was annointed or covered with a paste made from\u00a0Myrrh <\/strong>and\u00a0Aloes <\/strong>before the shroud was placed over him.<\/p>\n

But this only opens the door to a deeper mystery.\u00a0 Any knowledgeable herbalist will tell you that the True or Bitter Aloe, or\u00a0Aloe Vera, <\/strong>when combined with the resin of\u00a0Myrrh <\/strong>(Commiphora myrrha) <\/em>is one of the best preparations for facilitating the healing of wounds, even though these substances could also possibly be used for embalming.<\/p>\n

All this begs the question:\u00a0 Could it be that Jesus wasn’t really dead when he was taken down from the cross and placed in Joseph of Arimathea’s Garden Tomb?\u00a0 After all, when someone dies, all physiological processes stop, including the healing and regeneration of wounds.<\/p>\n

“Purge me with\u00a0Hyssop<\/strong>, and I shall be made clean”, says the Bible.\u00a0 In the herb and spice stalls of Jerusalem’s Arab bazaar, the herbal condiment known\u00a0as\u00a0Zatar <\/strong>was almost universally labeled with “Hyssop” as\u00a0its English name.\u00a0 However, I have tasted both Hyssop, whose botanical name is\u00a0Hyssopus<\/em> officinalis, <\/em>and the herb known as Zatar, and believe me, they are clearly\u00a0NOT one and the same.\u00a0\u00a0Zatar <\/strong>is actually a species of\u00a0Thyme. <\/strong>The popular Middle Eastern spice mixture called Zatar is actually a tasty combination of Thyme, Sesame seeds and a little salt.<\/p>\n

Another mysterious herbal preparation from the Bible is the\u00a0Spikenard Oil <\/strong>that was used by the woman to annoint the feet of Jesus.\u00a0 The mysterious woman is believed to have been Mary Magdalene, but what about this mysterious Spikenard Oil?<\/p>\n

Here again, an expert knowledge of herbal medicine and aromatics is needed to decipher the true identity of the Spikenard that formed the base of this fragrant medicated oil.\u00a0 The Spikenard used was NOT\u00a0American Spikenard, <\/strong>or\u00a0Aralia racemosa, <\/em>which is a close botanical relative of Ginseng, but rather, the\u00a0Indian Spikenard, <\/strong>also calledJatamansi <\/strong>in Ayurvedic medicine.\u00a0 Its botanical name is\u00a0Nardostachys jatamansi, <\/em>and it has a strong, musky odor like\u00a0Valerian root<\/strong>.\u00a0\u00a0 For this reason,\u00a0Jatamansi is also called\u00a0Indian Valerian<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Like Valerian root, Indian Spikenard, or Jatamansi, with its strong musky odor, can be used as a fixative, or aromatic fixer and amplifier, in combination with other warming, sweet and pungent aromatic herbs like\u00a0Cinnamon <\/strong>and\u00a0Cardamom<\/strong>.\u00a0 And, also like Valerian, Jatamansi, or Indian Spikenard, is a relaxing sedative that can soothe and ease muscular tension, aches and pains when it is applied topically in the form of a medicated oil.<\/p>\n

But perhaps the most eggregious case of misunderstanding and confused identity concerning herbs and foods in the Bible involves\u00a0John the Baptist<\/strong>, and what he ate while he was praying, fasting and baptizing others in the desert wilderness by the Jordan river.\u00a0 Most Christian preachers erroneously assume that he lived on a diet of locusts and wild\u00a0honey.<\/p>\n

But herbalists know better; what John the Baptist actually ate was\u00a0Carob<\/strong>, or the fruit of the\u00a0Honey Locust <\/strong>tree.\u00a0 The pods of the Carob tree are commonly made into candies and chocolate substitutes which are sold in health food stores.<\/p>\n

The botanical term\u00a0Locust <\/strong>refers to all trees of the bean or Legume family that bear large pods.\u00a0 And\u00a0Carob<\/strong>, or\u00a0Ceratonia siliqua<\/em>, being the sweetest of these Locust trees, is called the\u00a0Honey Locust<\/strong>.\u00a0 Because it is what John the Baptist ate in the wilderness, Carob is also called\u00a0Saint John’s Bread<\/strong>.\u00a0 Carob is also a native or indigenous plant of the Mediterranean and the Holy Land.<\/p>\n

If you’ve been accustomed to thinking of John the Baptist as eating a diet of locusts and wild honey, please consider the following arguments and evidence in favor of Carob:<\/p>\n

There is a common food additive, an emulsifier called\u00a0Locust Bean Gum<\/strong>.\u00a0 These beans are not from insect locusts, but rather, are from the beans contained within the pods of certain Locust trees.<\/p>\n

John the Baptist spent most of his time in the Jordan wilderness praying, fasting and baptizing others.\u00a0 If he had really eaten a diet of locusts and wild honey, he would have had to spend all his time poking around in beehives, fending off angry bees, and chasing around after locusts; no time would have remained for his spiritual pursuits.<\/p>\n

A diet of locusts and wild honey would have been an extremely unhealthy and unbalanced one, deficient in many essential nutrients.\u00a0 The concentrated protein of locusts, combined with the concentrated sugars of honey, with both of them severely or totally deficient in dietary fiber, would lead to severe putrefaction in the gut, and a whole\u00a0host of intestinal problems.<\/p>\n

Carob<\/strong>, on the other hand, is a remarkably whole and complete food.\u00a0 It is rich in calcium, protein, complex carbohydrates, riboflavin and dietary fiber.\u00a0 The raw Carob pods are quite rough and fibrous, being the internal counterpart of the rough camel hair shirts that John the Baptist wore as part of his coarse, ascetic lifestyle.<\/p>\n

In the Holy Land,\u00a0Carob <\/strong>is used as both food and medicine by the Palestinians.\u00a0 Mix powdered Carob with Sesame Tahini and you get a\u00a0delicious Halvah.\u00a0 Also, a syrup or molasses is distilled from\u00a0Kharoub<\/strong>, or the Carob pod, that is an excellent bowel tonic for those suffering from chronic constipation; it also soothes the throat and clears the voice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
